Which client statement indicates a need for further assessment at a prenatal visit?

The statement indicating a need for further assessment is the one expressing dislike for the baby’s movements. This statement could suggest underlying concerns such as anxiety, fear, or distress regarding the pregnancy and the changes it brings. A mother’s perception of fetal movement is an essential aspect of prenatal care, as it can reflect her emotional well-being and bond with the baby. Feeling negatively about fetal movement could be a red flag that warrants further exploration by the healthcare provider. This might include assessing maternal mental health, understanding her feelings toward the pregnancy, and ensuring that there are no misconceptions or fears affecting her well-being and the baby’s development.

The other statements reflect positive or neutral feelings about the pregnancy and relationships, indicating healthy engagement with the pregnancy process and support systems, which are typically reassuring factors in a prenatal visit.
